**Freches deutsches Comedy Open Mic in Wien! Junge Comedians + erfahrene Pros, gratis Eintritt & Drinks – jeden Mittwoch im Comedy Pub.** ## [HOL DIR DEINE RESERVIERUNG!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/checkst-du-comedy-freches-stand-up-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-8S49H0?ref=MeetUp) Willkommen zu **Checkst du? Comedy**, der mittwöchlichen Stand-up-Show im *The Comedy Pub*, bei der junge Talente und erfahrene Comedians gemeinsam für einen Abend voller Energie sorgen. Frech, direkt und immer spontan – hier wird Stand-up neu gedacht und live getestet. Diese Show ist der Spielplatz der neuen Generation von Comedians in Wien. Sie bringen frische Ideen, mutige Witze und ungeschliffene Jokes auf die Bühne. Erfahrene Profis runden den Abend ab und zeigen, wie Timing und Bühnenpräsenz funktionieren. Das Publikum bekommt so einen spannenden Mix: jung, wild, frech – und trotzdem mit Comedy-Handwerk auf höchstem Niveau. ## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic? Ein Open Mic ist der Ort, an dem Comedy geboren wird. Hier probieren Newcomer ihre allerersten Jokes, während Profis ihre neuesten Texte testen. Manche Gags knallen sofort, manche landen vielleicht erst beim zweiten Versuch – aber gerade das macht den Reiz aus. Du bist live dabei, wenn Comedy entsteht, wächst und manchmal glorreich scheitert. Und genau das ist **echtes Stand-up**. ## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Der Comedy-Hotspot in Wien Die Bühne von **Checkst du? Comedy** ist der historische Altbaukeller im *The Comedy Pub* (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien). Oben: Irish-Pub-Flair mit Drinks, Bar-Snacks und guter Stimmung. Unten: Kelleratmosphäre pur – nah dran, direkt und perfekt für Stand-up. Dank der Lage direkt an der U4-Station Kettenbrückengasse bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Comedy-Geschehen. ## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen Lachen soll für alle zugänglich sein! Deshalb ist der Eintritt frei. Aber Comedy lebt auch davon, dass Publikum und Künstler\*innen sich gegenseitig unterstützen. Wenn du gelacht hast, zeig’s mit einer Spende – fair, ehrlich und der direkteste Applaus überhaupt. ## 🎟️ Regeln für das Publikum Damit die Show für alle funktioniert, bitten wir dich um ein paar Basics: * Sei pünktlich – die besten Plätze sind schnell weg. * Lachen ausdrücklich erwünscht – am besten laut! * Keine Gespräche während der Show, Fokus auf die Bühne. * Kein Heckling – die Comedians sind funny genug. 😉 * Spenden sind willkommen – Support your locals! ## 🎉 Warum Mittwoch? Weil der Mittwoch sonst der langweiligste Tag der Woche wäre. **Checkst du? Comedy** macht aus der Wochenmitte ein Highlight: jung, frech, energiegeladen und mit Line-ups, die jede Woche neu überraschen. Wenn du Lust hast auf ehrliches Stand-up ohne Filter, dann bist du hier genau richtig. #CheckstDuComedy #ComedyWien #StandupWien #OpenMicWien #DeutschComedy #ComedyNightWien #ComedyClubWien #StandupComedyWien #WienLacht #LachenInWien #ComediansWien #ComedySzeneWien #ComedyShowWien #WienEvents #WienNightlife #ComedyLovers #WienOpenMic #GermanComedy #ComedyVienna #ViennaComedy #StandupVienna #ViennaEvents #ViennaNightlife #ViennaOpenMic #ViennaStandup #ViennaFun #ViennaUnderground #ComedyLifeWien #WienHumor #StandupSceneWien #LaughsInVienna #ComedySpotWien #FunnyInWien #AltbaukellerComedy #ViennaLaughs #WienWednesday #FrecheComedy #NewComediansWien #ComedyNewGen #YoungComedyWien

**[🎫 Grab your tickets now and let's turn this Saturday into a day of laughter and unforgettable memories. See you there!](https://www.universe.com/events/english-stand-up-comedy-open-mic-uncensored-the-comedy-pub-tickets-T7DMVN?ref=MeetUp)** **Explore the wild side of comedy at 'Uncensored' every Saturday, 22:00 - 00:00, hosted by Homer. Dark humor takes center stage!** Welcome to **Uncensored Open Mic**, the rawest and wildest comedy stage in Vienna! Here, there are no taboos, no censorship, and no holding back—just pure, unfiltered humor. Comedians of all levels storm the stage to test their most daring, sharpest, and funniest jokes. This is stand-up without filters, without safety nets—just pure comedy chaos! ### 🤔 **What is an Open Mic?** An Open Mic is where comedy is born. This is the place where comedians try out new ideas, improvise on the spot, and test material that might one day end up on a Netflix special—or crash and burn. At **Uncensored Open Mic**, anything goes! Experience unfiltered jokes, wild stories, and raw stand-up comedy. ### 🍻 **The Comedy Pub – Vienna's Only Stand-Up Comedy Club** Located at Kettenbrückengasse 7, **The Comedy Pub** is the heart of Vienna's stand-up scene. With its cozy pub vibe, cold drinks, and laid-back atmosphere, it's the perfect place to enjoy live comedy. Whether you're a comedy veteran or a first-timer, you'll feel right at home at The Comedy Pub. ### 💡 **Why is it Free? (Donations Welcome!)** Simple: Stand-up comedy needs a live audience. It’s an art form that thrives on reaction—your laughs, gasps, and yes, even your groans help shape the show. That’s why entry is free, and donations are welcome. If you laughed, show us some love. If you didn’t…well, maybe next time! 😉 ### 🎟️ **Audience Guidelines:** To make sure everyone has a great time, we ask for a few simple things: * **Be on Time:** We start right on schedule. * **Follow Instructions:** It’s easy, we promise. * **Laugh Loudly:** Great jokes deserve great laughs. * **Donate if You Liked the Show:** It's the best way to say, "Hey, I had fun!" * **No Heckling:** You will lose. Every time. * **No Talking During the Show:** Respect the comedians and the audience. This isn’t your living room—it’s a privilege to be here. If you’re disturbing the show, the audience, or the comedians, we’ll kick you out. No refunds, no second chances. We’re here for good vibes and great comedy—don’t mess that up. ### 🎉 **Experience Stand-up Comedy Raw and Unfiltered – Join Us Every Saturday!** #UncensoredComedy #OpenMicVienna #StandUpUnleashed #ComedyWithoutLimits #TheComedyPub #RawAndReal #ViennaComedy #NoFilter #StandUpRevolution #OpenMicNight #ViennaEvents #LiveComedy #RealStandUp #NoBoundaries #UncutHumor #ComedyWithoutRules #OpenMicMonday #ViennaNightlife #DonationBased #ComedyInVienna #LocalComedians #TheComedyPubVienna #BoldAndFunny #LaughUnleashed #RawStandUp #EnglishComedyVienna #LaughOutLoud #ViennaLaughs #ComedyInTheHeartOfVienna #ExperienceTheChaos #GetReadyToLaugh

Was wäre, wenn wir wichtige Fähigkeiten für den Alltag und den Beruf trainieren könnten, während wir einfach nur gemeinsam lachen und eine gute Zeit haben? Bei diesem Spieleabend nutzen wir die gesamte Bandbreite moderner Spiele als das, was sie im Kern sind: Ein absolut stressfreies Labor für soziale Kompetenz, strategisches Denken und echtes Miteinander. Ganz im Sinne von "Lernen zum Spaß" lassen wir die graue Theorie komplett weg und stürzen uns direkt ins gemeinsame Erleben! Wir haben für jeden Geschmack die passende spielerische Herausforderung dabei – und jede davon schult ganz bestimmte Fähigkeiten: * **Deduktionsspiele (Logik & Analytisches Denken):** Bei diesen Formaten geht es um messerscharfe Logik und das systematische Kombinieren von Fakten. Du lernst, verstreute Informationen strukturiert zu verknüpfen, die richtigen Fragen zu stellen und durch ein präzises Ausschlussverfahren Geheimnisse zu lüften. * **Worker-Placement-Spiele (Strategie & Ressourcenmanagement):** Hier lernst du, knappe Ressourcen optimal zu verwalten, langfristig zu planen und deine Strategie flexibel anzupassen, wenn ein Mitspieler dir einen wertvollen Platz wegschnappt. Das ist angewandtes Projektmanagement im Kleinformat! * **Social Deduction Games (Psychologie & Menschenkenntnis):** Hier stehen geheime Identitäten und das feine Spiel mit der Wahrheit im Vordergrund. Du schärfst deine Wahrnehmung, lernst zwischen den Zeilen zu lesen, Körpersprache zu deuten und deine eigene Überzeugungskraft beim Bluffen und Argumentieren gezielt einzusetzen. * **Kooperative Spiele (Teamwork & Empathie):** Bei diesen Team-Highlights gewinnen oder verlieren wir nur gemeinsam. Hier trainierst du Vertrauen, intensive Koordination untereinander und die Fähigkeit, dich vollkommen auf die Perspektive und Denkweise deiner Mitspieler einzustellen. ### Was wir an diesem Abend ganz nebenbei lernen: * **Kommunikation & Flexibilität:** Egal ob Kooperation oder Wettbewerb – wir schulen unsere Ausdrucksweise, die Wahrnehmung unseres Gegenübers und das gemeinsame Lösen komplexer Probleme. * **Resilienz & Emotionale Stärke:** Der spielerische Umgang mit kniffligen Situationen und Team-Herausforderungen trainiert unsere emotionale Intelligenz und Gelassenheit für das echte Leben. Bring super gerne auch deine eigenen Favoriten aus diesen Bereichen mit. Ob du neue Taktiken ausprobieren, deine Logik schärfen oder einfach nur tolle neue Menschen kennenlernen willst: Du bist hier genau richtig! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- What if we could train essential skills for everyday life and our careers while simply laughing together and having a great time? At this game night, we use the full spectrum of modern games for what they truly are at their core: an absolutely stress-free laboratory for social competence, strategic thinking, and genuine togetherness. In the spirit of "Learning for Fun," we skip the dry theory completely and dive straight into the shared experience! We have the perfect playful challenge for every taste – and each one trains very specific skills: * **Worker Placement Games (Strategy & Resource Management):** Here you learn to manage scarce resources optimally, plan long-term, and flexibly adapt your strategy when another player snatches a valuable spot from you. This is applied project management in miniature! * **Deduction Games (Logic & Analytical Thinking):** These formats are all about razor-sharp logic and systematically combining facts. You learn to connect scattered pieces of information in a structured way, ask the right questions, and uncover secrets through a precise process of elimination. * **Social Deduction Games (Psychology & Reading People):** Here, secret identities and the subtle game of truth take center stage. You sharpen your perception, learn to read between the lines, interpret body language, and purposefully use your own power of persuasion when bluffing and arguing. * **Cooperative Games (Teamwork & Empathy):** In these team highlights, we only win or lose together. Here you train trust, intense coordination with one another, and the ability to adapt completely to the perspective and mindset of your fellow players. ### What we learn along the way: * **Communication & Flexibility:** Whether cooperation or competition – we train our way of expression, the perception of our counterpart, and solving complex problems together. * **Resilience & Emotional Strength:** Dealing playfully with tricky situations and team challenges trains our emotional intelligence and composure for real life. Feel free to bring your own favorites from these categories. Whether you want to try out new tactics, sharpen your logic, or just meet great new people: you've come to the right place!

Be prepared for an entirely different type of sci-fi movie! Unofficially, the second movie in director Lars von Trier's "Depression Trilogy," 2011 Melancholia depicts the events that occur before a rogue planet is about to collide with the earth. Considered by many to be a masterpiece, the film was included in BFI's 2022 Sight and Sound Poll of the greatest movies of all time. It is available at the library as well as on Kanopy.

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
